Level 2 Art & Design

Course content & format

GMCG - Greater Manchester Colleges Competition Winners 2018.

This one year, full time course is housed within excellent facilities at Clarendon Sixth Form College. Facilities and resources are equally available for all learners to enjoy, participate and progress fully. You will have the opportunity to explore your creative responses through paint, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, photography or digital media. This course opens up your creative potential ready for your next steps at a higher level or in a different direction.

This course is ideal for students who don’t have a great deal of art and design experience and wish to develop their practical skills and knowledge further. Alternatively, this is a course for students who require a portfolio of work in order to progress onto one of our Level 3 Advanced courses. The course will enable you to develop your drawing, painting and making skills through a series of art and design activities. You will be introduced to a range of specialist areas such as Graphics, Fine Art, Textiles, Fashion, Photography, Print-making and 3D work. In addition, all students are expected to attend GCSE classes in Maths and/or English (if required), tutorial and take part in work experience opportunities.
